I was very pleased with the opportunity to participate in this campaign. I feel very strongly about the importance of regular immunizations for children and adults (and to be perfectly honest – for pets!). Life is often hectic, and making doctors appointments and the inevitable waiting at the doctor’s office can be really time consuming.

Walgreens to the rescue.

Did you know that at many Walgreens locations you can get a number of immunizations without a prescription!

They have healthcare professionals available, and no appointment needed!

Immunizations are important for everyone, but especially for children, seniors and those with specific medical conditions, like myself. I have a collagen autoimmune disease which makes me high risk, so seasonal flu can be quite dangerous for me.

There are many children that are not able to get immunizations because of the cost and availability.

Walgreens is helping by partnering with the United Nations Foundations and [email protected] Together this campaign can supply up to 3 Million vaccines to kids that need it most!

Get a Shot Give a Shot, is a Walgreens led campaign in partnership with the United Nation Foundation’s [email protected] campaign.

From September 2nd through October 13th, , for every flu shot or other immunization you receive at Walgreens, you will help provide a life-saving vaccine to a child in a developing country through the United Nation Foundation’s [email protected] Campaign.

#GetAShot Give A Shot at Walgreens

Healthcare professionals administer a wide range of CDC-recommended immunizations for adolescents, adults and seniors. Stay Well with Back-to-School Immunizations.

Walgreens makes getting back-to-school immunizations, like whooping cough and meningitis, quick and easy. This year, when your child gets their back-to-school immunization at Walgreens, we’ll help provide a lifesaving vaccine to a child in a developing country through the UN Foundation’s [email protected] campaign. Together, we can help protect children in the developing world from preventable diseases.

Immunization is one of the world’s biggest public health success stories. Yet, 1 in 5 children around the globe still lack access to the lifesaving immunizations. Coordinated worldwide vaccination efforts have made significant progress, particularly in reducing cases of measles and polio.

You can be a part of this success story by getting your immunization(s) at Walgreens.

We went to Walgreens today. Of course, the first thing we did was to head straight to the nail polish. Relda, who is my go to gal in the cosmetics department, recommended some brands that were on sale, and made sure that I had a coupon! I adore Relda. She is always so cheerful and helpful!

After we picked out some new colors, we strolled over to the pharmacy. As I mentioned, above, I’m high risk, so a flu shot is a must. Since there are no appointments needed and there was no waiting, I got my flu shot!

Once all my info was entered into the computer, and I filled out and signed the necessary paperwork (just like at my doctor’s office, I was given a copy of the Walgreens Notice of Privacy Practice, along with a Vaccine Information Statement on the Influenza Vaccine.) I was able to watch as she washed her hands,then retrieve the medication from the refrigerator. She checked the expiration date, then noted the lot number on my records. Then the vial was cleaned with an alcohol wipe and the syringe was filled. After replacing the medication in the refrigerator, she took me back into a small private room located next to the pharmacy waiting area.

We had the nicest little chat, while she swabbed my arm with another alcohol wipe then fanned my arm to dry the alcohol. (She is a dog lover, so we exchanged some “dog talk” and of course, Service Dogs came into the conversation.) She quickly and painlessly, gave me my flu shot. Afterwards, I gave her permission to give my boy a little love’n.

Getting my flu shot at Walgreens – didn’t hurt a bit, I promise. I look a little dazed in this photo, but actually, I was just looking down, thoughtfully, at Gabe, as the pharmacist had just said something sweet about him.

I Got A Shot at Walgreens and now they will Give A Shot to a child in need…so why don’t you do the same!

Manage Your Family

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “I love my local Walgreens“. We live in an unincorporated town. Our Walgreens is the place to go, for so many things. Of course, there is the pharmacy, but we also use the photo lab, pick up milk at all hours of the day and night, and let’s not forget last minute gifts. I feel like the employees are friends…and for sure, many are probably “neighbors”.

You can get your flu shot at Walgreens! #GetAShot

I know that, as of late, there has been a lot of controversy over giving immunizations to children. My personal feeling is that the dangers of NOT immunizing far out weigh the dangers of immunizing. PLEASE discuss the importance of immunizations with YOUR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL before making any decisions on behalf or yourself or your family.

I had no idea that Walgreens offered so many different immunizations that don’t require a script! Its especially convenient for flu shots! I hate waiting at the doctor’s office for an hour just for a flu shot. Thanks for sharing the great info!
